The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

The remains of the battlefield in the sky slowly sank, and the sky after the Rhine outbreak ended took on a morbid beauty.

Its remaining gravitational well tore the clouds into concentric ripples, and the aurora twitched like dying neon lights.

Those snowflakes suspended in the air, half crystallized into diamond dust, half vaporized into misty plasma, and then gradually turned into phosphorescent silk in the X-ray burst.

The miniature star hovering on Zhao Qing's left shoulder was as bright as day, while the ice core floating on her right shoulder was as blue as the moon. The two completely opposite energies flowed around her body, yet they were strangely harmonious and unified.

She stood in the center of the shattered temple, with star-like fragments of light flowing through her hair, and her clothes remained motionless in the violent flow of particles, as if even destruction itself had to bypass it. Under her feet were glazed tiles, with golden-red veins like lava oozing out of the cracks.

The rainbow halos refracted by light spots and ice crystals intertwined into twelve layers of light coronas behind her, making her look like a celestial being walking out of the Dunhuang murals, with a majestic and magnificent aura that transcended all things.

The Wind King's gaze swept across the sun and moon wheels on her shoulders, but a hint of ridicule flashed across his eyes.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

His voice seemed to come from a very far distance, yet it approached my ear in one hundred thousandth of a second.

——He did not choose to confront Zhao Qing head-on. After all, the calm posture that the other party deliberately displayed was too perfect, as perfect as a carefully designed bait. So he folded his dragon wings into a sharp angle, turned suddenly, and his figure left a vague indigo afterimage in the realm of zero time, and flew rapidly to the side.

The Dragon King's attack was utterly simple. The obsidian blade drew an absolutely straight trajectory and pierced Shi Yi Guang's throat. His tactics were cold and precise: to attack the enemy, you must rescue him; to break the deadlock, you must first destroy his weakness.

According to his rational analysis, even though the gravitational field of the original elemental black hole prototype has decreased, it is still at least thousands of Gs. Such a heavy pressure is enough to cause the blood vessels and nerves of ordinary dragons to burst and die.

Since Zhao Qing wanted to use this "weapon" for his own benefit, he had to pay a considerable price.

In other words, the opponent's movements and reactions will definitely become much slower, and even the unfolding time zero field will probably be deeply affected. Time and space are originally one, and they will naturally interfere with each other.

But Shi Yi Guang was by no means a weakling who had no ability to fight back, and he had already prepared for the battle.

With a slight "click" sound, she suddenly exerted force from her waist and abdomen, shattering the outer shell of the pill she had swallowed beforehand. A huge amount of life essence exploded from deep within the Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian of her hand, pouring into her limbs and bones like a galaxy.

——That was the "Returning Pill" that Zhao Qing had refined by mixing dragon blood grass with many rare and precious herbs and Taiyin True Water. The abundant medicinal power contained in it was enough to allow a master who had just entered the seventh realm to recover more than half of his true essence.

In addition, the Dongji Dan floating in her Qi Hai Dantian suddenly reversed, and the true qi that was on the verge of exhaustion was replenished in an instant. The spiritual pressure that suddenly surged in her body flowed along the meridians and was released from every acupoint.

The seemingly broken metal mesh around her body, the black iron sword wire that was previously wrapped around her body and formed a Faraday cage, suddenly disintegrated, and was stretched straight like a string under the infusion of majestic true energy, and billions of cruising magnetic lines were stimulated during the ejection.

A magnetic field with a strength of hundreds of Tesla was generated out of thin air, and even the suspended dust was ionized into tiny plasma sparks, weaving a blue grid visible to the naked eye in the air.

It was also like a thunder prison cage that suddenly opened, forming an airtight defense in an instant, a first-layer close-fitting shield.

The moment the Wind King's blade entered the magnetic field, the arc of light on the black crystal blade suddenly twisted - but he didn't even frown, and with a flip of his wrist, the blade's power increased instead of decreasing!
But in the next moment, those scattered sword threads suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and under the blessing of the magnetic field and the inner energy, they turned into a hard and soft barrier, surging like huge waves in the deep sea - this was the "Abyss Sword Formation" buried in advance by Zhao Qing, and it was also accompanied by a circulating energy loop of the changing times.

"boom!"

In the first strike, the blade collided with the sword thread.

Although the hardness of the hundred-fold refined black iron filaments has reached a level far exceeding that of diamond, when facing the melee weapon of the first-generation Dragon King head-on, one of the top alchemical creations should have been easily cut into pieces.

But at the moment the two sides came into contact, it only paid the price of a few damages and was able to deflect the enemy's attack.

This is actually a rebound caused by pure momentum difference. Time zero never changes the real kinetic energy, it only corrects the reference system. Although the speed of the sword is fast, its mass is far less than that of the sword wire net with skyrocketing inertia.

Few people know that the word "Time Zero" cannot be activated at the same time as Setsuna, or act on the same object. In a sense, the two can be said to be mutually exclusive.

However, it is still possible to bypass this limitation by accelerating something in an instant and then using time to free it.

However, as mentioned before, the release of the Word Spirit and the expansion of the domain take time, and there is also a delay in opening and closing.

When facing a being of the same level in such a high-speed battle, since he is already in the state of time zero, he will not suddenly change to the state of instant, otherwise he will reveal his flaws and fall into a disadvantage.

It is worth mentioning that the element depletion environment caused by the flash melt reaction in Rhine has not yet recovered.

For high-level dragons, although they can still control and use their own words, without the resonance and amplification of external elements, the power of their power will drop sharply relying only on the elements contained in their flesh, blood and bones.

The Rhine creates a soulless environment, while the commandments are soul-forbidden areas. The two are different in their own ways.

The Dragon King's figure paused for a moment as he put away his sword, then became blurred again in an instant, and he was about to make a second strike.

Golden flames wrapped around the sharp blade, revealing a subtle sense of burning everything. This was the domain effect of the alchemical weapon, which used plasma blast waves to increase both attack speed and strength.

The sword-wire net that was bounced away had not yet completed the reorganization of the formation, and the condensed blade light rushed in front of him again, cutting towards Shi Yi Guang's neck, and in the process it split into seven optical afterimages. Each virtual image seemed to carry real murderous intent, and continued to stimulate electrical signals that could paralyze the nerves.

The trajectory of the blade was like the messy lines scribbled by a child, but it accurately blocked all her evasive angles.

This is the "random cutting" unique to the King of Sky and Wind. The seemingly disordered knife path actually conforms to the mathematical model of turbulent motion. Each slash is the most deadly path in the NS equation.

Fortunately, at the same time, two streaks of scarlet light shot out from Shi Yi Guang's sleeves! The spiritual power bursting out from the Shaoze acupoint at the distal end of the small intestine meridian was extremely strong, which multiplied the power of this attack several times.

The Philosopher's Stone Flying Sword! Specially designed to kill dragons!

One sword was like a meteor piercing the sun, and the other was like a crescent moon across the sky, crossing each other to leave cross marks of light, presenting the combined force of "Thousand Piles of Snow" and "A Line of Sky", heading straight for the enemy's brows and throat.

This is a defense through attack, with the sword energy swirling and strangling, weaving into a grindstone that is powerful enough to cut through the strong currents from all directions.

The Dragon King had to take a half step back, giving up the best angle for his sword. A bone spur at the tip of his wing suddenly broke away, accelerated in the turbulent wind, and accurately hit the body of the flying sword on the left, causing it to disintegrate into red crystal dust the moment of contact, as if a drifting blood rain had begun.

The second flying sword immediately corrected its direction and stabbed the target's ribs at a tricky angle, but the Dragon King moved it sideways half a foot like a ghost, and it just barely brushed past the corner of his clothes.

And in this split second, his blade was raised again, slashing diagonally towards Shi Yi Guang Tian Ling!

But the sleeve of the latter's right arm had already been burning with thousands of extremely bright runes, and her series of attacks were not over yet!

But Shi Yi Guang twisted his waist and shoulders in mid-air and punched out with all his strength. The fist force condensed into a three-foot-long blazing white sword - an invisible gas weapon built with the support of the extremely accomplished cultivation of Zhiyang Wuji!
When this "Solar Sword Force" was blasted out, a blazing white shock wave like a miniature solar prominence briefly appeared in front of the fist, and the Dragon King was forced to block it with his blade.

The highly condensed true fire of the sun collided with the repulsive field of the Dustless Land, and the air waves swept around like a tsunami, destroying the already dilapidated ruins of the temple into pieces again.

It seemed like they were evenly matched, but Shi Yi Guang knew clearly that this was just an illusion: the gap in speed between the two sides was insurmountable, and the enemy had disappeared without a trace.

"Faster, faster! Faster, as fast as you can!"

The Dragon King's third knife didn't even leave an afterimage on her retina, only the hairs on the back of her neck exploded, giving her a frantic warning.

Relying on an unimaginable spiritual intuition, she tried her best to lean forward, and her soft body was bent into an arc, narrowly avoiding the stab. At the same time, her elbow was like a hammer, and the true power stored in her small sea point burst out and slammed backwards fiercely!
"clang--!"

The elbow hit the invisible barrier, and the sword energy brought out by Liuyun Feixiu was all trapped in the vacuum vortex. Liuli Fancheng evenly dispersed the impact to every inch of the air crystal wall. The Wind King sneered secretly, and the blade turned lightly, slashing towards her neck like lightning!
The golden and purple arc of electricity brushed past her temples, cutting off half of her flying black hair. The dark purple lightning accumulated on the blade rushed towards her scalp like a venomous snake, and it seemed that it was going to go straight down to attack her brain.

"Zheng!"

The sword-wire net reappeared after being bounced back. The magnetic field of the Faraday cage deflected the electric current. The sputtering electric arc exploded into sad and beautiful purple flowers in the air, which gradually dissipated with a hiss.

The falling hair is strangely suspended in the magnetic field, like a black crescent moon frozen in time.

The smell of burning filled Shi Yiguang's ears. She gasped and took a half step back. The Taoist talisman on her right arm had been burned out, revealing some slightly charred marks on her fair skin. The blood beads that overflowed from her lips condensed into round red agate in the weightless environment.

This was naturally due to internal injuries caused by the overclocked operation of the meridians, which quickly recovered under the nourishment of Taiyin True Water, and in turn became a trigger for widening the meridians. His eyes became brighter and his expression remained calm.

Everything happens in just tens of microseconds.

During the time when King Feng was slashing with his sword, Zhao Qing did not move at all.

The miniature star on her shoulder rotated slowly, seemingly trying to maintain the stability of this ball of violent energy, deeply restrained by the gravitational field, even her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip due to excessive concentration and high radiation nearby. But her sword intent had already spread and was everywhere - the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone flying sword that were shattered by the Dragon King were now suspended at specific coordinates, such as the constellations;

The scattered black iron filaments were quietly reconstructed, like an idle piece dropped by a Go master, setting up a dilemma that was like sealing the sky and locking the earth.

Her fingers were pulling at invisible gravitational strings, and there were faint, thin, colorful auroras flowing, as if controlling the trajectory of the stars, like playing an ancient zither tune.

When the Dragon King raised his knife again, he suddenly found himself standing on a streak of light.

——That was the “line” that Zhao Qing drew with the thought of judgment.

"Are you plotting against me?" The Dragon King's golden pupils suddenly shrank.

late.

Zhao Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the "micro star" began to pulsate and contract according to the set relevant parameters!

It suddenly collapsed to the size of a walnut, and two flames as thin as hair suddenly burst out from the two poles, billions of times brighter than the sun in the sky, sweeping across like a sword of heavenly punishment!

This is a relativistic jet ejected from an extreme star. A beam of high-energy charged particles exceeding 10 billion Kelvin, guided by the Yin-Yang magnetic field, turns into a blade of light that spans the sky and the earth, like a silver scissors cutting through the sea of ​​stars.

If described using the words of practitioners, it might be called the "Taixu Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Light Ray."

Along their path, space shrank and twisted like scalded silk, and even the light was stripped of its color.

At this moment, the position of the Dragon King just happened to hit the preset coordinate point, forming a straight line with the direction of the jet.

Even though this kind of attack could not be accelerated by time zero, only a few tens of nanoseconds later, his body was easily cut in half before he could react, just like a paper-cut cut in half by laser irradiation!
The upper body was still moving forward due to inertia, but the lower body had turned into charred carbide and disintegrated into ash in the high temperature.

The King of Sky and Wind, who controlled thunder and lightning, was actually defeated in the field he was most proficient in. What was even more ironic was that the opponent used the "special equipment" that he had originally thrown out with his own hands.

This was because the arrogant dragon had never realized that the new spherical shell of the "microstar" was actually a misleading disguise, and the rotation axis of the core inside had undergone a covert change during the chaos of the battle.

But Zhao Qing's attack did not stop.

She hooked her fingertips, and the previously shattered fragments of the Sage's Stone Flying Sword suddenly gathered together, and the direction of acceleration changed several times.

Each one dragged a crimson vacuum trail, and taking advantage of the moment when the opponent lost the power to resist, they pierced into the Dragon King's heart and aortas from all directions like a school of sharks smelling blood, bringing out puffs of light golden blood mist.

The fastest thing is not to chase light or lightning, but to make everything in the universe your own timepiece.

The Wind King looked down at himself, his expression showing a bewilderment as if he had not yet reacted. He felt that the flesh and blood at the edge of the wound had carbonized into a loose diamond texture. Not a drop of blood had flowed out, and under the action of gravity, crystal powder particles were slowly floating out.

But Zhao Qing still had no intention of stopping and "letting go". Her slender fingers gently plucked and twisted in the void, continuing to pluck the strings of gravity. The jet from the other pole of the miniature star swept over again as it rotated, intending to further chop the opponent into smaller pieces.

When the dazzling blade of light that could not be looked at directly was swung out, the earth groaned under the heavy force, and the granite layer cracked silently like butter under a hot knife, and was plowed through by jets a few nanometers thick and sank into the mantle!
The outcome has been decided?

Do not!
The Dragon King's golden eyes went out on their own, but the wound pierced by the shards of the Philosopher's Stone no longer bleeds. The severed half of his body solidified in the air, the wind stopped flowing, and the light dimmed.

The entire battlefield seemed to be loaded into an old-fashioned cathode ray tube that was constantly fading.

Then, time seemed to be forced forward a moment, and the film of the universe was violently rewound and played back!

Zhao Qing's consciousness was as still as a reef, and she watched this counterintuitive tampering with cold eyes. She quickly observed that she had returned to the moment when she was clenching her fist to activate the micro-stellar jet, and the entire blazing ball of light was shrinking extremely violently.

However, the target it was originally aiming at, the King of Sky and Wind, was strangely deviated by more than ten centimeters, unable to hit it immediately, and it accelerated to dodge behind Shi Yi Guang.

Is the other party using me as a shield? What a good plan, forcing me to stop squeezing out the energy of the "star", or use the jet that is about to be stimulated elsewhere, wasting the time and energy spent on this attack.

Her mind moved slightly, and she immediately understood that what had just happened was an incredible "time reversal" process that had never been recorded by anyone. However, such a heaven-defying magic could not be without conditions. There should be a limit to the effect or the number of times? What was tampered with was only the result, not the cause?
The actual change in the battle situation was just moving a short distance out of thin air and trying out the moves he had prepared, which gave him a chance to respond again. But with only the few characteristics he had shown at the moment, he could have killed him a few more times until he was forced into the ultimate desperate situation from which he had no way to escape.

You know, as early as when the enemy attacked, this news had already spread into the world of Sense Stone with a radius of thousands of miles, and it was quickly notified to the main body, thus bringing enough long-range support, which could completely create a crushing situation.

From the moment the King of Sky and Wind stepped into the temple, this place had been carefully prepared as a dragon-catching well - and this was no exaggeration.

However, in order to ensure a sure kill, a more sophisticated and in-depth strategy must be used. Otherwise, with the opponent's Dragon King's extremely fast mobility, it will be impossible to stop him while he is trying hard to escape.

Having said that, seeing that the target was still in a killable state, Zhao Qing thought about it briefly, but without hesitation, he directly triggered the second level of the mechanism that was arranged in advance:

The next moment, the Wind King, who had just moved to the "safe zone" behind Shi Yi Guang, suddenly froze - he found that every possible route of his action was blocked and squeezed by two force fields in opposite directions.

It turned out that Zhao Qing could directly transmit energy to her companions from beginning to end, releasing instantaneous combat power far beyond the previous one! No wonder she had never shown an urgent tendency to protect him, this was actually to train Shi Yiguang's ability to fight independently.

After being trapped for a microsecond by the tidal Yin-Yang Wuji aura, the Dragon King's prepared "reversal of the situation" speech began to spread slowly, but it was destined to be difficult to say it completely: "After all, I underestimated you, but the same trick, how can..."

Halfway through his words, the flying fragments of the Philosopher's Stone had formed a shrinking rotary cutting and piercing array on his back, blocking the Dragon King's next words in his throat and forcing him to slightly move out of the safe zone to avoid them.

As a result, he was once again met with the sword of heavenly punishment that cut through him.

At the last moment, Zhao Qing instantly took over Shi Yi Guang's meridians, bones, and muscles, allowing her to shrink into a ball in an instant. She was obviously several times smaller than the Dragon King behind her. Therefore, the enemy, who was thought to have lost at most half of his wings, still could not escape the planned bombardment and evaporation.

And considering that perhaps it was because he had retained his brain before that the Dragon King was able to use his life-saving secret skills, this time the relativistic jet was adjusted into a comb-like multi-forked form, combing through most of the area where the Wind King was, completely annihilating it except for half of his right leg.

Going back in time not only gave the enemy an extra chance to try out their moves, it also gave Zhao Qing more experience and the ability to predict the battle situation - after all, this was her first time controlling this kind of "high-energy magic weapon", and she would naturally become more proficient as she used it.

The sky presents a strange two-color layering.

The lower part of the cloud was dyed peacock blue by high-energy particles, while the upper part was dyed rose gold by Compton scattering. Because it was not long after the time, the debris that was blown away earlier was still suspended in the aftermath, and some had turned into glass, reflecting distorted light and shadow.

Shi Yi Guang's broken hair slowly fell, igniting into gray dried butterflies in the residual static electricity field, dancing in the wind.

The wind was light, but it carried the unique metallic smell of the battlefield, lifting the ashes higher.

Until it merged into the crack in the sky, leaving no trace.

"Is he dead?" she asked.

Not every being can retain the forcibly reversed memories under such a retrospection. Zhao Qing's spiritual cultivation has reached the realm of the Chaos Observer who lays the foundation for the time and space line, while Shi Yi Guang was born with a very special physique and is almost as good as her in status.

"It would be best if he's not dead. Let's have a third round." Zhao Qing concentrated on sensing the field, trying to find signs that the enemy was still alive: "It's been a long time since I encountered a battle like this. The preparations made can't be wasted... If I don't kill five or six times in a row, I always feel unsatisfied..."

"A dragon king that has lived for a long time must have split out of its cocoon a long time ago. No matter what, it is difficult to truly kill it in one go. At most, it can only put it into a state of dormancy for a few years. Judging from the target's current level of actual combat performance, the egg nucleus may contain more than half of its power."

Although Shi Yi Guang received almost unreserved training from Zhao Qing, his cultivation and combat power grew extremely fast, and he directly entered a very high realm of true qi by refining many Dongji Dan. He also had strong adaptability and was able to connect multiple moves of the first generation of humanoids in a non-weak state, which was rare.

As for the previous competition with Jörmungandr, apart from factors such as time zero and the soulless environment, the combat power of this King of Sky and Wind is probably not much better than that of the next generation.

This proves something important.

"The more power you divide up for the Dragon King's Egg, the faster it will be able to regenerate." Shi Yiguang expressed his understanding: "Rather than encountering this guy again at a critical moment, it is better to fight him a few more times, test out all the cards he has hidden, and figure out the principles of secret techniques such as 'Time Rewind'."

"In my opinion, the price the enemy has to pay for going back is probably proportional to the total amount of facts that have occurred and the amount of change that needs to be made. In other words, it is the product of the two... Assuming that the enemy will soon trigger time travel again, we'd better accumulate more causes for the former..."

"good."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, and as his mind turned, he had a new plan: "A time-space 'machine' that can help us refresh our state without resetting our thinking is indeed hard to find elsewhere, and its value is irreplaceable."

For high-level dragons that can continue to "return" after death, capturing them alive is undoubtedly a better result than killing them and then resurrecting them.
